December 2016 Wrap-Up

Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I didn’t have the best this month, but surprisingly, I have read and reviewed many books! The most all year long. I was sick (cough & congested) twice this December. I went to the doctor and filled myself up with antibiotics and cough syrups. I slept a lot but felt tired a lot. Cheers to good health in the new year!! Wishing you all the best in 2017. I read & reviewed 33 books in 2015 and 53 books in 2016. My 2017 reading challenge is to read & review 50 regular books and 50 children’s books. I haven’t decided if I will review 50 children’s books on my blog, but for sure, you can find my reviews of them on Goodreads.

You are so ambitious, Jasmine! I really respect that. I personally would love to see the children’s books reviewed here. I struggle to find good books for my nieces and nephews. This would expose me to a lot more. 🙂

I’m glad you are feeling better. Here’s to health, happiness, and more books in 2017! 🙂

Awesome list, Jasmine! Are you feeling better now? I hope you reach your goal! I’m so excited to read A List of Cages! Most people say Ever the Hunted was pretty awful so I’m kind of scared to read that. Happy new year!

I find it so interesting that our reading taste are so different ! Lol I’ve noticed a lot of the time the books you’ve really liked are ones I haven’t and vise versa ! I like it though it’s always nice to see how people appreciate it even though it might not be your thing.

I have the same feeling as you when I see other bloggers’ reviews 😂 Like Roseblood, it’s so bad yet others loved it lol but you’re right, it’s good to see different opinions from everyone. Different reviews makes it interesting to read 😊

I haven’t read y yet but I want to. And I enjoyed the authors other books so I feel like I might be apart of the group that loves it 😹😹. Yet I hated shadow and bone lol. Yeah seeing why people loved it helps find the good I think.

I see the difference.. in the reader feed, I able to access it. But from the link on your name on this comment section I can’t. It’s because your blog URL has an extra k. The one on this comment is missing the extra k.

Sorry you were sick so much last month! That had to be no fun with the holidays. All things aside it seems like you had a pretty great reading month though. I hope you have a fantastic 2017, Jasmine! ♥😊

Sorry you weren’t feeling well last month. I hope you’re feeling much better now! And congrats on managing to complete that many reviews in a month. I did terrible reviewing haha. I’m 7 books behind 😀 You read some great books in December! I hope this month goes just as well for you!

Haha, most times I can but I recently made the mistake of reading a series without taking notes, so now I’m blending the events together. I think, for the most part, it’s best to write the review right after finishing, just to be safe! 😀 My lack of review writing mostly stems from procrastination LOL. You’re on top of your game! Don’t end up like me haha XD

Happy new year 😀 I hope you feel better now 🙂 Wow you reviewed 53 books in 2016, that is a lot 🙂 I only reviewed 10, but that is because reviewing books was totally new for me. And still I use a lot of time on the reviews I write.

About Me
